The Mechanics of Suspended Loads in Heavy Rigging
Interface products provide real-time measurements of cable tension and load weight to prevent dangerous overloads of rigging equipment. Rigging converts rotational, linear, or gravitational forces into controlled mechanical displacement. It relies on calculating vector forces, tension distribution, centers of gravity, and safe working load (SWL) limits to ensure that heavy components remain structurally stable and balanced throughout dynamic motion.

Force Sensors in Heavy Machinery Boost Safety and Performance
Interface load cells, torque transducers and multi-axis sensors help prevent heavy machinery overloading, equipment failure, and accidents by providing real-time data on forces, loads, and structural integrity. Accurate measurements enable optimization of machine performance, fuel consumption, and material usage. Continuous monitoring of forces and loads allows for early detection of potential issues, minimizing downtime and repair costs in manufacturing, infrastructure, construction, agriculture, energy, natural resources and other industries.
